Bolholt Song

Tune by Kathryn Wheeler, lyrics by Jude Reid

Bregaslanders, blood and bone Bolholt! Bolholt! Strong as iron, hard as stone Bolholt! Bolholt! Hard at work by day and night Never beaten in the fight Courage, pride and loyalty Marcher yeomen are we

For the land we'll tireless toil Bolholt! Bolholt! Golden corn and rich brown soil Bolholt! Bolholt! By our oath and duty bound Loyal as a hunting hound Courage, pride and loyalty Marcher yeomen are we

Bolholt maids have beauty rare Bolholt! Bolholt! In all the Empire none so fair Bolholt! Bolholt! Bolholt lads are stout and strong Handsome as the day is long Courage, pride and loyalty Marcher yeomen are we

Fearsome foes wait on the field Bolholt! Bolholt! Still we'll fight and never yield Bolholt! Bolholt! Raise the banner up on high Now they'll hear the battle cry Courage, pride and loyalty Marcher yeomen are we

Time to put aside your plough Bolholt! Bolholt! March with me to battle now Bolholt! Bolholt! On to victory or death Never fail while we draw breath Courage, pride and loyalty Marcher yeomen are we
